Ingredients

Scale

Main Ingredients

  • 1 bunch radishes (about 8-10), washed and thinly sliced or diced
  • ½ cup red onion, finely chopped
  • ¼ cup fresh cilantro, finely chopped
  • 2 tablespoons fresh lime juice (about 1 lime)
  • 1 jalapeño pepper, seeded and finely chopped (optional)
  • ½ teaspoon salt, or to taste
  • 1 tablespoon olive oil (optional)

Instructions

  1. Prepare the Radishes and Vegetables: Wash the radishes thoroughly and trim off the ends. Slice them thinly or dice into small cubes depending on your preferred texture. Finely chop the red onion, cilantro, and jalapeño (if using) to ensure even flavor distribution.
  2. Combine Ingredients in a Bowl: Place all the chopped radishes, red onion, jalapeño, and cilantro into a medium-sized mixing bowl. This begins the flavor build-up for your salsa.
  3. Add Lime Juice, Salt, and Olive Oil: Squeeze fresh lime juice over the mixture, then season with salt to taste. If desired, drizzle olive oil to add richness. Gently toss all ingredients together until well combined and coated.
  4. Let It Rest: Allow the Radish Salsa to sit at room temperature for 10 to 15 minutes. This resting time helps meld the flavors and softens the sharpness of the radishes and onions slightly, creating a balanced, harmonious taste.

Notes

  • Use fresh, crisp radishes for the best crunch and flavor.
  • Add jalapeño gradually to control the heat level.
  • Freshly squeezed lime juice significantly improves flavor compared to bottled juice.
  • Serve the salsa soon after making for optimal freshness, though it can be chilled briefly.
  • Chop ingredients uniformly for consistent texture and flavor in every bite.
